Steve. Oh dear, sorry about this. And I'm no portrait shooter. I know this isn't a crit thread and I don't wish to upset anyone. Just my take..anyway #1. Fab lighting, great pose. I love the mystery of the shot. #2. For me if you're going to show the far eye she needs to turn more toward you. Far enough so that the nose doesn't break the cheek line. #3. Just needs a little light on the hair at the top of her head. #4. Sorry, I want to see all of her face. I get why you shot it this way but the whole face lit from just one side would work better for me (light and shade)#5. Of course it's about the mask but my eye is drawn to the girl. Therefore I want to see more or less of her.
Please bear in mind I know nothing.
Don't be offended, just my take as a viewer (not a photographer)
Thanks for the great comments everyone. Forgot to mention; all taken on Hasselblad 500CM with 150mm Planar (scarily sharp) lens and on Fuji Acros
Now who would dare laugh at you for using a top end camera, the fools, do they know nothing?
Lovely shots mate.
Skysh4rk, I suspect the last laugh was indeed yours. Lovely images.
A few from me, the first one taken on 3 year out of date Fujicolor 100 and the rest on good old Agfa Vista! Quickly scanned on the V500.

Here are a few photos from Macau with my Bronica.
Probably nowhere near as exciting as the Great Wall in a photographic sense, Macau still had a unique, colourful charm of its own, heavily influenced by both Portuguese and Chinese culture. The contrast between the older, poorer sections of town and the newer developments—driven primarily by the region's rich casinos—was particularly striking.
This was taken with the Mamiya RB67, using Kodak Ektar 100.....
Thanks Steve....That's fantastic, but I can't work out what's with the feathers at the back
Thanks RJWow, I love the detail and colour in the eyes.
